Jackson James, 2025 Summer Intern with US Senator Mark Kelley

To assist Jackson James, who just graduated from Yavapai County Community College where he was VP of the Student Government Association. Jackson was also a fellow with Civic Engagement Beyond Voting this past semester and his capstone project was “Engaging the Next Generation in Local Politics”. Jackson explored why young people are disengaged from politics and what he learned. We’re happy to have him share his findings with us.

Jackson has been selected for a prestigious internship with US Senator Mark Kelly in Washington, DC this Summer! Join DWPA in welcoming this motivated young man and get an insight into politics from the other end of the age spectrum!

Jackson's hourly wage will not cover his living expenses and airfare. Please assist him so he is able to take full advantage of his internship by donating via:
